The 2G scam trial, arguably the most awaited
event of the year in India, kicked off yesterday. The who’s who of the business
world and the political world are expected to attend the event, which will span
several months. Nominations for a life term have been received by 17 stars, and
it is expected to be a closely fought battle.
Leading the pack is Reliance – 11 of the 28
witnesses in the first batch are from the Reliance ADAG group, and are spearheading
a campaign to renovate Tihar jail to make it a world class prison. Unitech Wireless
and Swan Telecom have lent their support to this movement.
All eyes, however, will be on the nation’s
sweetheart, Kanimozhi. She is expected to ditch international designers and
wear an Indian outfit to this no-carpet event. The ceremony will be hosted by
the charismatic Ram Jethmalani.
